Occupational therapy focuses on the restoration of function and improvement of social participation levels through the use of occupations such as work, self-care and leisure/play. Occupations are activities that bring meaning to the daily lives of individuals, families, and communities and enable them to participate in society.

Clinical Social Work

Social workers promote social change and development, social cohesion and empowerment of people with mental health challenges. Social Workers carry out assessments for disability grants and also investigate the socio-economic circumstances of patients through interviews and home visits. In addition to the above mentioned, Social Workers also educate families and communities about mental health as well as accepting diagnosis, treatment and adherence to medication.

Pharmacy

The pharmacist dispenses psychiatric medication to both inpatients and out-patients and ensures that patients have access to the safest and most efficacious drugs.
